You're in Good Hands at Our
All-State School – These were a few of the Upward
Bound students who got a head start on their future by taking
college classes at Eastern this summer. The students from area
high schools also participated in social and craft activities.
Just in case the old adage is true that "idle hands are the
devil's workshop," it was felt that having the students make
plaster casts of their hands would at least confuse the old rascal.
In the top left photo is is Linda Reyes of Clovis High School
and David Silva of Ruidoso High School. The top right photo is
Celestina (Tina) Martinez, Upward Bound resident assistant and
full-time ENMU master's student. The bottom photo is (L-R) DaLinda
Black, summer resident assistant, Upward Bound director Doris
Anaya, Flor Saenz and Isabel Guerrero from Ruidoso High School,
and Monique Lucero from Clovis High School.
